Official Nintendo Topic

I think it is really worth getting a 3DS now, compared with the last 2 years.

[Haruka]

Sorry for the bump but I have a question for European 3DS users: are there Nintendo eShop cards being sold in your country?

The Portuguese Nintendo has been promissing the said cards since the release of the eShop and yet I see nothing.

[Adsolution]

This isn't directly Nintendo-related, but is Mario-related. I just came across this old video of myself playing a bunch of Mario songs by ear back when I was twelve:



There are some cringe-worthy mistakes, but it's actually not nearly as bad as I remember it being. My hands are so damn stiff here!

Sorry if this is too unrelated to Nintendo itself, I wasn't exactly sure where to put it.

[Haruka]

Even with the note mistakes I quite liked to listen to your Mario musical performance. Fantastic.

[Bradandez]

That's pretty well played, Adsolution! (Makes me wish i had my own piano to play.)

Anyways, I'm definitely going to buy a 3DS for my birthday. Though I want to know what's the really big differences of the 3DS and the 3DS XL (besides the obvious bigger screens).

What do you guys think?

[Haruka]

@Bradandez I believe that the only differences, except for the obvious bigger size and weight, it is a more lasting battery and nothing quite much else.

Try to check Nintendo's official website for tech information.

@Master I read those news before. I'll miss the E3s though, the Nintendo ones used to be quite entertaining. I invite you to read this article:

Ah, that's too bad. Whenever E3 comes around I love to search the web to see which franchises are getting new games. Excited to see the two games and screenshots, though.

I wish I could play that well but pianos hate me. ;A; Nice job with it!

Not sure if I'm bringing really old news to the table, but I finally spotted eShop cards in Europe.

[Haruka]

I didn't see them in here yet, well done Nintendo.

Well, tomorrow most of Wii channels will stop working. Rest in peace.

I took some photos to my final stats of Everybody Votes Channel, I used it a lot.

Please don't tell me Wii Shop Channel will stop working.

I'm still waiting for them to fully update Virtual Console to the eShop. Really want Castlevania. Also hoping so, so badly they'll put Mario Party 1 and 3 on it. Gamecube better be on it too.

And on the topic of the eShop: Will Gameboy Advance games ever come for the 3DS? I remember being really excited but so far it seems to be a dying wish.

[Haruka]

The Wii Shop Channel will still work at least. I just find funny how almost in the end of life of the console, Nintendo remembers in creating an YouTube Channel for the console.

[OCG]

YouTube channel should have been made in 2007.

[Haruka]

I took a screenshot to my final stats of the Everybody Votes Channel: http://puu.sh/3pIez.JPG

[OCG]

Nice stats. Thanks for sharing it.

[Keane]

Only channels I used much were the Mii channel and the Mario Kart one. Come out already Mario Kart 8.

[OCG]

lol Mario Kart 8 is just Crash Nitro Kart Rip-Off
Not saying it will be bad game (infact it will be good game of course), but I am just not excited for it at all.

Yes, such a rip-off, because any Kart racing game utilizing gravity is a rip-off of Crash Nitro Kart.
